Teberebie (W/R), Sept. 10, GNA - Business has
commenced at the new Teberebie market in the Tarkwa Nsueam Municipality.

As at 0500 hrs on Monday, the market day, many
traders had displayed their wares and were seen busily attending to their
wares.

Many customers had thronged the place to
purchase various items.

Mr Emmanuel Baidoo, the Senior Sustainability
Manager of AngloGold Ashanti Iduapriem (AAI) Gold Mines, said this in an
interview with the Ghana News Agency as part of his tour of the market.

He said when AAI Gold Mines handed over the
new market to the Teberebie community, Nana Kojo Minnah II, Odikro of
Teberebie, selected Mondays as the specific day for trading and has been
helpful.

He said although commercial activities have
just begun many traders expressed their joy that sales was booming.

"We are very happy because this is just
the beginning as time goes on activities will expand and more people from
Tarkwa and beyond would be here because within this area apart from Mile Ten
and Half there is no market day anywhere in Tarkwa except Nsueam" he said.

Mr Baidoo expressed the hope that this would
impact positively on the economic activities in Teberebie and beyond.

Poverty level among women in its catchment
areas would reduce drastically as they would earn money for themselves, he
said.

He said commercial transport businesses would
have their fair share as taxi drivers would be loading commuters at their
respective stations.

Madam Kwakwa, a female trader, expressed
satisfaction with the patronage and thanked AAI Gold Mines for constructing the
Teberebie market.
